    The best of several highly-rated resorts we visited in the Algarve area...

    The resort is the best of several highly-rated resorts we visited in the area. Located on a beautiful cliff, with private beach access (via a lift). Very spacious, with multiple pools, garden and beach restaurants offering a variety of food, a nice water spa (available to ocean suites visitors), sport facilities (golf, tennis, etc.) and several kids playgrounds. The rooms were spacious, well-designed and comfortable. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed the place very much and would definitely come back.

    The resort restaurants are a little over-priced and there isn't much choice. In years gone by the O'Grill restaurant was our favourite and the buffet style or a la carte menus were amazing. Sadly, the menu is now limited. Ideal for families with kids (there were a few families with pre-school age kids) and great for lunch but not much choice for our evening meal. If you like fish the local restaurants are absolutely superb.

    Third stay at the Ocean Suites and Seventh stay at the Pine Cliffs Resort - safe to say we like it, a lot! We've stayed in all areas of the resort/different types of accommodation which are all wonderful however the Ocean Suites is now our choice. It's just lush - especially for adults. The rooms are cleaned every day with fresh towels and toiletries provided. The beach is lovely and the grounds are beautifully maintained and wonderful for a stroll however, for relaxing, we choose the pool area which is just perfect and peaceful. Of course, being able to travel outwith school holidays is a bonus. Breakfast is fabulous and not to be missed. The staff are wonderful, so helpful, nothing is too much trouble.

    Not enough sunbeds at the beach, we did not manage to find enough sunbeds for our family during our stay so had to lay on the sand, which was not comfortable and was not expected on a 5 star resort. Also noted that a lot of sunbeds were reserved in advance by some guests but not been used. The golf course was overcrowded. We have played twice during our stay and were not able to start on the prebooked tee time.

    The location and room were excellent, big selection of restaurants and great food. Staff was extremely helpful!

    - indoor swimming pool was a bit cold and would have liked it better if there were more lanes - the children’s playground looked worn out, it definitely needs repair as there were screws sticking out

    - clean and well maintained suite - fully equipped kitchen with very good quality pans etc -twice a day housekeeping -spacious and well equipped gym -very child-friendly or safe, you can see that the -architect or designer carefully thought of small details to make the resort safe for children e.g. short steps and furnitures with round edges in the room -very friendly and attentive staff (the staff at the open space even came to bring us cushions for our sun beds and the driver of the carts would always drive slowly or avoid approaching us when our daughter is walking or running) - the housekeeping staff are very friendly and also pays attention to what we prefer (such as only decaf caps) - magnificent views and good access to the beach

    The service around the pool was slow. It took ages to find someone for drinks. The pool bar around the main pool did not open until midday. Upstairs above the seafood restaurant on the outdoor terrace closed around 5pm. This was a shame as it was the perfect spot for an early evening drink. Overpriced gazebos on beach.

    The Ocean Suites were perfect. Spacious, bright, clean and comfortable. Beach was lovely.
